Del Amitri - Driving With The Brakes On (Unplugged)

[@mikeshort9080]

Always loved this song but this unplugged version is absolutely amazing - even more powerful and haunting...

[@thedownfieldsyndrome6216]

Arguably one of the best songs written.

[@dkava76]

The Downfield Syndrome so, sooooo underrated. It’s truly amazing.

[@bigtoelittlefinger6133]

I beg to differ

[@bigtoelittlefinger6133]

By the way

[@user-kb5fd7ox4n]

Yeah.. Its a gem of a song

[@huhguy5]

I was at the short set they did at Rocky Mountain records on Pearl Street in Boulder and walked a bit up Pearl Street with them as they watched a band playing at the Courthouse. Justin was amused but kind at the band playing Latin dance music. I can't remember if it was 95 or 97 but it was a Saturday after a gig. They were a bit hung over and in shorts. They did about 5 songs including this one. Only about 60 people in the place. I happened to be up front. It was an amazing unplugged performance. I didn't really know them- but became a fan that day. Awesome live band back then - especially unplugged.

Everyone should hear this song. Such heartache & angst.

[@firehead505]

It was recorded at KBCO Radio on May 5th, 1995 during a Studio C performance. The recording can be found on the KBCO Studio C Volume 6 and Volume 7 (Retrospective) CDs.

[@dougww1ectebow]

Yep. I have both of those CD's. Some great music on them.

[@davidc3850]

Wonderful song yet again from Justin. Love the Dels !

[@dougww1ectebow]

From KBO Studio C. I have this recording. Makes me cry.

[@freddybeer]

This is FLAWLESS! Just amazing! Pure TALENT! As if their album recording was one take! Just phenomenal! Okay, I'm running out of adjectives!

[@h.zohmingmawia306]

[@robwalker7575]

What was "the thing they done" ? I always wondered...

[@cnoath3767]

abortion of their child

[@ljc3484]

So sad. Decision with such finality.

[@BigZane84]

Abortion

[@bigtoelittlefinger6133]

I love being Scottish ya count

[@therealchenoa]

I love this song...I swear it sounds like he's singing about an abortion. :(

[@dougww1ectebow]

He is.

[@freddybeer]

- and how it's broken the relationship beyond repair.
